to bring together foreign and Israeli scientists and Israeli
research students who work on computational problems that
arise in the Human Genome project. The meeting will be held
in the Nahsholim seaside resort.
A partial list of the speakers at the workshop is included below.
The final program will be posted later. The scientific program will

About Nahsholim and Accommodation Information
-----------------------------------------------
Nahsholim is a seaside resort located near a Kibbutz on
the Mediterranean coast near HaBonim beach, about 60
kilometers (35 miles) north of Tel Aviv. It has its own
beautiful, sandy and calm beach just 100 feet away and is
an excellent vacation spot during the summer. June weather
should be ideal for swimming and bathing. The accommodations are
in units of one and two rooms. The units are pleasant although
quite basic (air-condition, simple showers and bathroom, small tv,
sometimes small kitchenette). There are many interesting
closeby attractions.
A block of rooms have been reserved for the workshop.
The rates, including breakfast and dinner are:
Single occupancy - 137 IS/night
Double occupancy - 104 IS/night.
Three persons/room - 96 IS/night.
Four persons/room - 88 IS/night.
These rates, subsidized by the conference, are available for
participants only and for a limited number of rooms. Preference
will be given to those who register early and to those who intend
to stay for the whole (or most of the) conference. Other guests
(e.g. family members) will be charged rates which are 50 IS higher
than the above. The charge for a child is 72IS.
The current exchange rate is about USD 1 = 3.15 IS.
The deadline for registration is May 5, 1996.
